RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie
Thanks, I have received several replies with great information, but this is the direction my question was aimed at. Do you have any recommendations as to what is needed? I planned to select the Minimal Install from the installer, and then only install the packages that were needed One of my main questions is What are the packages that are needed? (as a base not directly related to the Nagios package or Plugins.. I also have seen that many times the version (Apache, and other programs) that RedHat or Fedora installs is not necessarily the latest version I would like feedback as to whether it is better to go with the newest version, or if it is better to stay with the Older Versions I think it would be cool to have a KickStart file, and Post Installation Script to have a machine primed and ready to go for a Nagios install. I have also received some good feedback about whether to use the precompiled RPMs or to compile. The official Doc that I am reading from the Nagios site details the compile it yourself instructions but I have received a couple of responses recommending to use the precompiled versions. I also want to thank everyone who has responded, the help is much appreciated. Jim Perrin sent me a link to his document and it was very helpful. I think that it will generate some questions with me, but I will try to save most of them till I have tried a few things one question though about the doc. On Jims document it lists default install directories as: /usr/share/ /usr/lib/nagios/ /etc/ I may have missed some??? The doc that I am reading from the Nagios site seems to imply to me that the directory structure starts with a base directory of: /usr/local/nagios/ Then that I should have 5 directories in this base directory: (page 14) /usr/local/nagios/bin /usr/local/nagios/etc/ /usr/local/nagios/sbin/ /usr/local/nagios/share/ /usr/local/nagios/var/ I assume that the difference could be attributed to personal preference and the compile time options??? Also, in Jims document it states: What youll have at this point is a nagios directory in /usr/share/ which contains the html interface for yum, hosted through apache. Can someone explain the significance of the html interface for yum to me. Or is this possibly a typo and should be the html interface for Nagios. And I want to say that I am not trying to pick at Jims Doc I think it is great, it has been really helpful for me to read, and has got me thinking. Im just trying to digest it and learn it right the first time. Thanks in advance.

I intend to start my first installation after I finish reading the documentation which seems to be very straightforward. The question that I have is in reference to the base OS installation. I will be using Fedora Core 4, and would like to ask if there are any recommendations or documents about a box specifically dedicated to Nagios. Example: Should I accept the Web Servers default installation from Anaconda, or should I download a specific Apache version from any particular place etc. Same question with Compiler installs. These questions all in the context of what is best for a foundation for a Nagios box. Kind Regards, Curtis

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios - Newbie
Thanks, I have received several replies with great information, but this is the direction my question was aimed at. Do you have any recommendations as to what is needed? I planned to select the Minimal Install from the installer, and then only install the packages that were needed… One of my main questions is What are the packages that are needed? (as a base… not directly related to the Nagios package or Plugins.. I'd question the use of FC4 strictly from a lifetime approach. With FC5 out now, core 4 has about 6 months left. a RHEL 4 rebuild like centos or scientific linux will last you until 2012. As to your question of installs, you can choose the minimum install, and then use yum to get everything else if you use the Extras package. That's a fine course of action. Nagios doesn't need much beyond fping, perl, net-snmp-utils and httpd. I also have seen that many times the version (Apache, and other programs) that RedHat or Fedora installs is not necessarily the latest version… I would like feedback as to whether it is better to go with the newest version, or if it is better to stay with the Older Versions For nagios specifically this doesn't really matter. For server maintenance standards it depends on your goals. A RHEL rebuild is designed to be stable and provide several years of enterprise service where 'new' isn't always what you want. Fedora, gentoo and others move more rapidly. For me, rapid movement isn't what I want in a machine for monitoring. I want it to last, and provide a baseline for everything else. I think it would be cool to have a KickStart file, and Post Installation Script to have a machine primed and ready to go for a Nagios install. Indeed, and such a thing is easy. But kickstarts are generally for mass repetitive installs, or machines that are rebuilt quickly. In most environments, this doesn't describe the machine you're using for monitoring others. I have also received some good feedback about whether to use the precompiled RPM's or to compile. The official Doc that I am reading from the Nagios site details the compile it yourself instructions… but I have received a couple of responses recommending to use the precompiled versions. The nagios documentation is very much generic *nix instruction, and is quite thorough and very good. It's the generic nature of it though that leads to the discussion. I recommend that people follow the packaging method of their distribution of choice as much as possible. If you use an rpm based system, use or make an rpm of nagios. If you're a debian fan, make or use a deb of nagios. This simplifies the overall system maitenance requirements and you can use the same tools for every package. If you work in an environment like I do that requires software audits periodically, rpm and other package tools make it easier than saying Well some are over here, and there are some others over in this general area. I also want to thank everyone who has responded, the help is much appreciated. Jim Perrin sent me a link to his document and it was very helpful. I think that it will generate some questions with me, but I will try to save most of them till I have tried a few things… one question though about the doc. On Jim's document it lists default install directories as: /usr/share/ /usr/lib/nagios/ /etc/ I may have missed some??? Yes, but that's because I didn't document them. My guide was meant to be taken with the nagios documentation, and I only mentioned what I felt people needed to know to get nagios off the ground. The nagios rpm I describe has things in: /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios - the included apache config for authentication/access control. /etc/nagios, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios to start and stop the nagios service, /usr/bin/ where the nagios and nagiosstats binaries are, /usr/lib/nagios for plugins and the cgis, /usr/share/doc/nagios and /usr/share/nagios for the documentation and web interface. I assume that the difference could be attributed to personal preference and the compile time options??? And distribution type customizations, similar to how apache is set up on rhel,fedora etc. Also, in Jim's document it states: What you'll have at this point is a nagios directory in /usr/share/ which contains the html interface for yum, hosted through apache. Can someone explain the significance of the html interface for yum to me…. Or is this possibly a typo and should be the html interface for Nagios. Yeah. I have a typo in there. Thanks for catching it, I'm fixing it now. And I want to say that I am not trying to pick at Jim's Doc… I think it is great, it has been really helpful for me to read, and has got me thinking…. I'm just trying to digest it and learn it right the first time. My doc was just to cover the rpm based approach, and to work with the existing documentation. If it got you thinking then that's what matters. If there are things I need to include or correct, by all means
[Nagios-users] Errors in my log since upgrade to 2.1
I upgraded to Nagios 2.1 over the weekend, and since then, I've been
having some problems. It runs fine during the day, handles
notifications fine, everything works great. When I come in the next
day, the process has stopped, and the log file is full of this:
[1144102973] Warning: The check of service 'ping' on host 'pmad-sw-01'
could not be performed due to a fork() error. The check will
be rescheduled.

[1144102973] Warning: The check of service 'ping' on host
'evvlinlwt-ert-01' could not be performed due to a fork() error. The
check will be rescheduled.
And I mean full.. I monitor 87 hosts / 171 services, and it makes that
log file a monster to dig through to find anything besides these errors.
My 'ping' check is as follows:
# 'check_ping' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_ping
command_line$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w $ARG1$
-c $ARG2$ -p 3
}
And
[EMAIL PROTECTED] libexec]# ./check_ping -help

Any ideas?

[Nagios-users] integrating swatch with nagios
Hi, I'm trying to integrate swatch in nagios (via passive checks, I want swatch as a reaction to a 'hit' run the submit_check_result into a passive check). But I'm having a lot of problems with the commandline parameters. for example, swatch offers the $_ parameter containing the entire line from e.g. a solaris message file. But these files then to contain characters that are interpreted by the shell such as [ and ' and whatever. Basicly, I want to search a logfile for a regular expression, and if there's a match, I want the entire line to be sent to nagios (preferrably via a passive check). I do not want to use the nagios plugin checklog because it's too kludgy for my taste. How do you integrate logfile parsing in to nagios ?

Have you looked at the output of ./configure --help?

[Nagios-users] check_service_freshness on central/distributed
I've set up a distributed server with freshness checks for each service being submitted passively set to 1 on the central server. But in the main nagios.cfg on each server (central and distributed), what should the global check_service_freshness parameter be set to? I don't see anything definitive on the page for setting up distributed server.

[Nagios-users] Summary Overview
Back in the 1.2 release I asked about a feature to email me a status summary of what is happening on the network. Someone replied saying that it should be implemented in 2.0, however I can't find anything about it. Does someone know if this feature is implemented or if it is still in the process? --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.

[Nagios-users] Context help?
Hi, I noticed there is a context help but the isn't any data in it. As I am a lousy programmer I will try to update this section and present you with the results. Just curious how popular the concept of this feature is to see how high I will scale it on my to-do list. I will dump some experimental ones on http://hvdkooij.xs4all.nl/NAGIOS/ for thos who wish to test them. Just remove my initials from the filename again to fit them in your Nagios system. (Mainly a security feature so I will not overwrite in an upgrade.) Hugo. -- I hate duplicates. Just reply to the relevant mailinglist.

[Nagios-users] Nagios 2.1 problems.
Watching the list activity gives me an impression about the new 2.1 release of Nagios. I have just downgraded to 2.0 version because of some problems with retention setup, and I am also not confortable with the fact of many reports on service flapping detection problems. Is there anyone having status retention problem, or i am alone with that? Or, should I ask, Is there anyone with retention setup using Nagios 2.1? Thanks in advance. Marcel.
